DOVER- Police continue to investigate the remaining unsolved residential break-ins after two men were arraigned last week in connection with some of the burglaries.

Lt. Brant Dolleman said police continue their efforts to investigate the other burglaries. Part of the ongoing investigations includes whether or not the two men now facing felony charges were connected to them.

“We certainly are not alleging that they are responsible for all of them. But we are working to see if they're connected to at least some of the other ones,” he said.

Christopher Morin, 27, of 50 Mill St. was arraigned on eight felony level charges relating to eight separate burglaries. All but two of those involved forced entry. He is being held on $25,000 cash bail at Strafford County Jail.

Those burglaries occurred between Dec. 7 and Jan. 10 on Oak Street, Back River Road, Fairfield Drive, West Knox Marsh Road, Atlantic Avenue, Forest Street, and Dover Point Road.

Joseph Sprague, 23, of 149 Portland Ave., was charged in connection with four of those incidents for being an accomplice, or a “look out” for Morin. His charges are also felony level and he is being held on $10,000 cash bail at Strafford County Jail.

Neither of the men may be in contact with each other, their victims, or come within 25 feet of their locations.

Since mid November, there have been about 27 residential break-ins, most involving forced entry and all during daylight hours. In

one residence the homeowner was present when the burglar broke in.

Items such as jewelry and electronics have been targeted by the thieves.

The additional burglaries were reported in various residential neighborhoods throughout the city and police are also working with other local agencies experiencing the similar incidents.

Morin and Sprague face a probable cause hearing at 10 a.m. Feb. 1.

Anyone with information on any of these burglaries is asked to contact the Dover Police Department, as is anyone who notices suspicious activity in their neighborhood and surrounding areas. Those wishing to provide anonymous information may call the Dover Crime Line at 749-6000.
